Nice internal mechanics gimmick...

The scene where the missiles pop out like that and take out an entire VF squadron was one of the most memorable of the entire series!!!!!!!!

Can't wait for the canon metallic green version to be released!!!!!!!!!

you can clearly see that they were so sparkly that the light just shines around them.

seriously though where did they get that name for the Gnerl?

I "ordered" this one, 28 cm is really a big size, it feels like the Matchbox era 😁

are they doing a clear canopy, or is this picture just to show the internal details?

I kinda always thought it was just a light grey armor piece on the top and bottom. I don’t remember any scenes that showed it clear. I think there was either an alternate color that had it green, but that may have just been a color mistake in the animation.

Yes, of course.  Zentraedi mecha use sensors and cameras, with big screens in front of the pilots.  The only transparent canopies are on the Matchbox toys. 🙄

That’s what I thought. I figured the big camera in front was to see rather than just a gunsight.

According to "Robotech" site the Quel-Gulnau is actually this ship....

I honestly don’t know where they’re doing their research on these things. A bunch of Robotech stuff seems to name the recovery ship what they’re trying to name the gnerl. I’m not sure if that’s the official Macross name of the recovery ship, but it definitely isn’t the gnerl’s name. They can’t get their colors right, their names come out of nowhere and I have a weird feeling that the gnerl toy is gonna end up with a clear canopy

I'm surprised no one has brought it up to him....maybe he'll double down on the name too!

What is the "official" name of this ship in the Macross Universe...

 

I'd have to check my reference books, but thought you may just know off the top of your head....I don't ever recall it being referred to as a Quel-Gulnau...until just recently by the folks producing the tiny gaming kits....but guessing it must be correct and they didn't just make it up...
